The Carousel of Chaos and contradictory advice doesn't help.

Everyone has an opinion. Nobody's connecting your legal and your tax. So you keep riding in circles while the gremlins have a field day.

Your business needs legal and tax, working together.

Braden Drake, tax attorney and founder of Not AVG Law

Enter Braden & the Not AVG crew.

Law, tax, and business money basics,

all rolled into one.

Picture Elle Woods, but like a sassy (but helpful) gay man. That's Braden, our fearless leader. He passed the bar exam and then decided to get a master's in tax law.

"I've seen every possible way people accidentally screw up their business structure, contracts, and taxes. Most business owners don't need a $500/hour attorney right away. They need education first."

Braden

So he built a small but mighty team and a framework to stop the Carousel of Chaos once and for all: the 5 layers of business protection.

Your path

The 5 layers of business protection

This is the framework I've been building since the first round of Unf*ck Your Biz in 2019. It's been tested through three editions of the book and eight cohorts of the program, and refined into a system that works no matter where you're starting.

Need one piece? Maybe your taxes are dialed in but your name isn't protected. Or your contracts need to grow with your business (spoiler: they always do). Grab the standalone offer for that layer.

Need the whole thing? You skipped the basics, dove in head first, and a few years later realized you kinda f*cked a few things up. Unf*ck Your Biz is the only place we cover tax deductions, S corps, LLC formation, cash flow, and fixing past legal and tax mistakes, all with you.

Foundation solid? That's when the fun starts. Once your biz is unf*cked, you're free to focus on goal setting and financial planning, and Besties HQ is where you do it with people at your level.
